A Decent Weekend

The last few days have been pretty good for Chris. Her energy has been much better than it has been in weeks. She was eating pretty good and had lots of visitors. I think all the visitors helped her tremendously. She even sat on the sofa both days.

Last night her pain got pretty bad. Her pain is coming back before her next dose of pain medication is due. This was happening most of the day yesterday. They upped her pain meds to 5mg every 3 hours. Hopefully that will make a difference and keep her more comfortable.

The way the last 2 days have been it makes me wonder if we are going to have more time with her. I know it probably won’t but she just seems livelier than she has been. She has even been eating a little better. I know eventually the kidneys are going to shut down entirely and the starvation is going to overtake her. Days like this just make me wonder how much longer she can continue.

I know she is going to have good and bad days. I am just thankful for the good weekend that she had. She had so much family around this weekend. My mom’s entire family came down from Vero to see her. I think she was a little overwhelmed, but she was awake and lucid the entire time.

Yesterday her best friend from high school came to see her also. She loves seeing Rosemary. It always makes her so happy.
